Many places in NYC have taro as a flavor of boba/bubble tea, and I’ve had taro ice cream at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory (I recommend this place highly) in NYC as well. Both are very very good, especially the ice cream. I’ve never tried this particular product, though . . . so no idea whether it’s any good!

It’s not uncommon to see it cooked with sugar and coconut milk in Southeast Asia. Probably the reason it was used in the candy is that it has a neutral flavor, and thus can be used in many applications as a filler to stretch a flavor, somewhat like tofu or Hamburger Helper. When used well I find it quite tasty but I would have to try this candy before passing judgment on its use in confectionery.
